Chapter 38 by Roar of The Winning Punch Roar of The Winning Punch

What's next?

Make a rather sloppy ruling.

What does a person with vast and godlike powers do when set loose? He does what any man who gets a taste of authority does, seek to gain more.

New Rule: The School at which the owner of The Rulebook attends is a private live-away school located in a scenic area of The Rockies, and all current students have already had their tuitions paid.

Eights hours a day, five days a week is simply not enough time with your toys. You could have done anything, been with anybody, gone anywhere, but the decision you made is to take away what little time they had from you away. How incredibly little of you Michael.

When you were dropped off at school the next morning via bus, you and every other living being to see or know about the school was surprised to find it gone. There was only a crater where it once was.

"What's going on?" Ben Gaft shoves his way towards the front of the assembling crowd and knocks you over.

"Attention, everyone!" Mrs. Fuller, one of the administration, was going around to the various crowds trying to explain the situation. "It appears the school district thought that adults only high school was a weird idea, to begin with, and sold it off to a private schooling firm in Colorado. All students please move to the busses on the other side of field. We'll be starting the move over to our new location as soon as all students are accounted for."

"What about my clothes?" One student asked.

"Yeah, what about our stuff?"

"Do our parents know?"

"This is a public school; you can't just sell it off!"

Mrs. Fuller raised her hands to calm everyone down, futile. "I know this is quite sudden, I have to move away from my family too. Your parents will ship your belongings to our new location. We just ask that you all stay calm so this transition goes smoothly."

Good grief Michael, this is so sloppy. you could just kick yourself huh? You should have made it an old rule. That would have been way easier. Now look at everything.

Trying to act like a leader, you pick up your belongings and head for the busses she indicated to you. Everyone mumbles to themselves. "Of course, he would be the first to accept this. Teacher's pet. He always does what they say. Suck up. Traitor. Flunky."

A few take your lead, and unhappily pick up their purses and bags and head for a new state with almost no belongings at all. This starts a small flood of students who meekly obey. No one is happy, but the rules of this world inevitably grind it into the shape ordained by its writer.

Hours later the riots are put down, the students are loaded up onto the buses and the exodus of the town's youth begins.

"Can you believe this?" Chad flops himself down into the seat next to you. "It's bad enough that we're going to be trapped in here for eight hours, but they put the guys and girls in two different buses." He looks ahead to the bus loaded with woman. "My darling Lacey must be so stressed out right now."

"She'll be okay, we'll be okay, everything will be okay. I'm not going to let anything bad happen. We're going to get to our dorms, and everyone is going to have a great time. Things are going to be great."

Chad smacked you in the chest. "Look at Mr. Optimism here, I like it. We rooming together?"

"Um, of course." You smile. "It's going to be great."

"It's just weird that they didn't say anything all year, and the poof. I heard they ripped the school out of the ground, and flew it to Colorado with helicopters over the weekend."

"Yeah crazy." You pull up a video on your phone and show it to him. "Hey look at this."

He squints at the screen. "What am I looking at?"

You point at the screen proudly. "This is the first nuke to get disarmed since world peace was declared. Every country is doing it. They're going to turn them into space ships Chad. We're going to space!"

"That great." You get the feeling Chad doesn't really care. "Did you know about the move? I know you're tight with the faculty."

You grunt and stow your phone away. Who cares about you saving the human race from nuclear war anyway? "No I didn't know. I'm just as surprised as you."

"Hey." Mitchell Carnegie pops his head over a seat. "Did Michael say he knew something about the move?"

"Michael knows something about the move?" Another kids turns his head towards you.

"No!" You slouch down in your seat. "I don't know anything. Did you hear they're disarming all the nukes?"

"I don't see how that involves me."

"Aren't you a member of the faculty though?"

"I just can't believe they did warn us, I had a doctor's appointment!"

Shut up, shut up! You bring out the rule book and scribble in it furiously.

Old Rule: Students love moving, they're excited by it, and never suffer from anxiety about the prospect of moving to a new location.

A calm rushed over the entire bus, and was immediately broken by Chad jumping to his feet and screaming. "We're moving to Colorado boys! The land of weed!"

The entire bus lit up with excitement and cheered him on.

You joined your bestfriend, and jumped to your feet. "And the threat of nuclear genocide is quickly vanishing from our daily lives, and this milestone should really eclipse any personal injuries me might be feeling about our lives! Woo!"

You're met by a more tepid response, but Chad supports you with a woo of his own, and the entire bus picks it up. "Disarm the bomb and smoke a bong, disarm the bomb and smoke a bong!" And on and on it goes, all the way to Colorado.

How's Colorado?
